Green College and University Program

The college, university, or school campus may save energy, recycle trash, and build with better material. But, if your cleaning service isn't committed to the cause, the best ideas fall short of their best ideals for a Green, sustainable, and healthy environment. Health is a Green issue, while recycling and energy are sustainable.

A trained, educated and your professional staff are crucial for continuity of the buildings on campus. After buildings are built and furnished, the daily duties of cleaning can totally compromise the health and saftey of the facility. Under the guideline now imposed by OSHA and Department of Labor under ADA and EEOC, buildings must meet higher standards for cleaning. Cleaning for appearance is always necessary, but cleaning for health is the new and better standard.

With all types of health on campus, the cleaning service can literally cause health issues for those with allergies, asthma, chemical sensitivities, environmental illness, and weakened immune systems. The cleaning service is very much a part of the cause or solution for health problems for vulnerable students and staff.

The Green Clean Institute is pleased to partner with many schools, colleges, and universities to further develop their Green and Healthy cleaning services.

It is easy to upgrade all your staff with the online video training from the Green Clean Institute. All "New Hires" should be required to take the GCI Basic Cleaning course. Then, every person on the cleaning crew should take the GCI Green Cleaning Technician video course. This training is available 24/7/365 by Internet access by smartphone, iPad, computer, or big screen for group sessions. There are six twenty minutes videos that conclude with an online test and certification.

It is obvious that training and certification is the foundation of a Green and healthy campus, classroom, or dorm. The consistency and follow-through of the GCI Green Technician training is how the program is sustained throughout the year. And, worker skills improve by additional courses we offer during the year.

After the training, your facility can work on implementing the Green Cleaning concepts for key buildings. Using our online GHBP point system, it is possible to qualify a building as a Green and Healthy Building by using our app to evaluate and confirm the "Best Practices for Green Cleaning" in a simple program that we verify by a Skype inspection.

We are happy to answer questions, guidance, and possible schedule a live class for your workers. Please contact our office at (815) 609-4546 or email: office@gcicertified.com
